ASID Foundation
Created in 1975 and now known as the ASID Foundation, the Foundation is the affiliated 501 (c)(3) charitable organization for ASID. The ASID Foundation’s mission is to support endeavors that capture and disseminate knowledge, encourage innovation, and benefit the health, safety and welfare of the public through interior design research, scholarship and education.
While ASID has chapters throughout the country and a membership of many thousands of individual members and Industry Partners, only a small portion of ASID dollars go to the Foundation. As such, the Foundation looks to those individuals and organizations to help partner in the response to issues facing interior design and issues that affect the health, safety and welfare of the world community as well as people who are served by the profession. All donations to the Foundation are tax deductible.

Famous quotes containing the word foundation:
“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
